There are dead stock pick-up services in every province, not only for ruminants but also for hogs and chickens. There is, therefore, a pick-up service. The animals are picked up, but we are talking about thousands of tons of dead stock per week. A company such as ours, for example, has 50,000 pick-up points. So there is indeed a service, and the farmer is responsible for having the animals picked up and disposed of legally. Every province has its own regulations, requiring rendering or burial in a hygienic fashion and in compliance with environmental standards.
